Posted: 7/9/04 at 12:19pmIs it just me living under a rock or have there really been no auditions for the show yet?

Posted: 7/9/04 at 12:56pmI still think it would be AWESOME and great casting if stephanie J. Block got to part of Elphaba on the tour. Since BFO is closing, it would be perfect. She already has experience in the role and i would love to see her sing defying gravity. (can't wait to see wicked again when it comes to chicago)

Posted: 7/9/04 at 4:02pmif you pick up a copy of this week's BackStage - you will find casting notices for the tour and broadway replacements about to happen soon.
"I don't really get the ending,all i can go with is when after several months,Judith saw Pat sang,and later she kissed him on the toilet,after that the story back to where Pat went down from the stage after he'd sung,and he went to the italian lady.I just don't get it,what Judith exatcly meant when he kissed Pat that she had seen,and did Pat end up together with The Italian Lady?Please help me,thank u very much!"
Quote from someone on IMDB in reference to a movie he/she didn't understand. Such grammar!

Posted: 7/9/04 at 7:06pmCasting for the tour has been going on for a month now. I have a strong inkling that Stephanie will get Elphaba. I'm interested as to who will be Glinda.

Posted: 7/10/04 at 7:39pmIt would be a dream come true if Stephanie got the part of Elphaba on tour over on Broadway. She is my favorite actress currently on Broadway and it would be the perfect role for her!

Posted: 7/10/04 at 7:50pmIf Stephanie was Elphaba, I would try to see it, but I have always been disappointed with tours after seeing the show on Broadway (TMM, for example).

Posted: 7/10/04 at 7:51pmWell, the show will probably lose some no matter what. Most all of them do.

Posted: 7/10/04 at 8:56pmsince the wizard wears a wig do you guys think that an 18 year old (me) could audition for/ be cast as the wizard? I have played older before as is evidenced in my icon (me as bill clinton). Or should i just go for Fiyero

Posted: 7/10/04 at 10:50pmAs much as I don't like Wicked (no flames, please!), I'm happy it's starting its tour in Toronto. Toronto's theatre industry has been suffering these past two seasons, so its place as the "third-largest theatre scene in the English-speaking world" has been under threat. But it's nice to know that producers still see it as a very viable city for theatre.

Posted: 7/10/04 at 11:44pmI'm told by a good friend in the cast (B-way) that they aren't casting until after the summer, when all of the dancers who are working for the summer return to NYC - at least as far as the ensemble and minor roles are concerned - I'm sure we can expect to hear about the leads before then...

Posted: 7/11/04 at 9:26amThere has been no casting thus far for any of the roles. Any rumors flaoting around about the possibilities for leads are just rumors and totally unfounded. Nothing at all has been decided and nobody has yet to spoken to about lead roles.

Orion,
Perhaps we SHOULD listen to the Renthead. Haven't you learned the Golden rule of Broadway, yet? A Renthead is never wrong and they are the most reliable sources around.. Just like the Rent cast is the most well paid cast on Broadway.
